February 28th is an American day of infamy - the anniversary of the events that led to the Ruby Ridge and Waco mass slaughters of Americans by the government that had sworn to protect them. Today on Truth Jihad Radio, we welcome two of the most important people working to expose federal government corruption in the USA - James Petras and Barbara Honegger.

James Petras is the author of 64 books published in 29 languages, and over 560 articles in professional journals, including the American Sociological Review, British Journal of Sociology, Social Research, Journal of Contemporary Asia, and Journal of Peasant Studies. He has published over 2000 articles in nonprofessional journals such as the New York Times, the Guardian, the Nation, Christian Science Monitor, Foreign Policy, New Left Review, Partisan Review, Temps Moderne, Le Monde Diplomatique, and his commentary is widely carried on the internet. His publishers have included Random House, John Wiley, Westview, Routledge, Macmillan, Verso, Zed Books and Pluto Books.Second hour: Barbara Honegger, Senior Military Affairs Journalist at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterrey, CA and researcher of the 9/11 and anthrax false-flag attacks. Barbara will:* follow up on Friday's interview with anthrax expert Barry Kissin;* explain why the small minority of 9/11 truthers who want to shut down discussion of the Pentagon attack are misguided;* and explain why she doubts many claims of my recent guest Dmitri Khalezov.Barbara Honegger exposed the Bush-CIA October Surprise operation that brought down Jimmy Carter, provided Mike Ruppert with much of the "9/11 war games" evidence in Crossing the Rubicon, and has come up with some of the best 9/11 activism ideas, including the Boston Tea Party for 9/11 Truth and the recent Third Beam for WTC-7 event in New York City.

We didn’t need the National Academy of Sciences to tell us that the Government’s case against Bruce Ivins is a sham.

Almost a year ago (on March 6, 2010), I began a column: “The Bruce Ivins case is a trap. If the powers that be manage to keep us occupied with analyzing and reanalyzing the numerous and glaring weaknesses in the contrived case against Ivins, they succeed in diverting attention away from [the true source of the anthrax attacks].”

The best evidence points at one source – a sector of our own military-industrial-intelligence complex – the entity President Eisenhower warned about 40 years ago. Ignoring his warning has enabled this entity to grow and fester.

On covering up the true source of the anthrax attacks, NAS almost entirely cooperated. This is most significantly illustrated in what NAS had to say about silicon. Silicon has always been a key ingredient in the U.S. method of weaponizing anthrax. Though no one says it, this central issue of silicon in Amerithrax is about whether the attack anthrax must have come out of our own up-until-then secret anthrax weaponization projects.

The NAS: “Silicon was present in the letter powders but there was no evidence of intentional addition of silicon-based dispersants.” The problem is that the NAS relied on only one source of information about this, namely the FBI.

Here’s a better source: “‘If there is that much silicon, it had to have been [intentionally] added," [said] Jeffrey Adamovicz, [former scientist] at Fort Detrick … He added that the silicon in the attack anthrax could have been added via a large fermentor—which Battelle and other labs use." (Wall St. Journal, 1/24/10).

The NAS: “[N]o silicon was detected on the outside surface of spores where a [weaponizing] dispersant would reside. Instead, significant amounts of silicon were detected within the spore coat of some samples.”

It is true that there was “no silicon detected on the outside surface,” but it is false that this is “where a dispersant would reside” – that is a surpassed technology. The most modern anthrax-weaponizing technology has been referred to throughout the duration of the Amerithrax investigation by sources like Richard Spertzel, former Deputy Commander of USAMRIID, Kay Mereish, the Chief of Biological Planning and Operations at the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, and Science magazine.

This most modern anthrax-weaponizing technology precisely situates “significant amounts of silicon” on the “spore coat,” just what the NAS found and obligingly disregarded. In other words, the anthrax was indeed intentionally weaponized with the most modern (advanced) anthrax-weaponizing technology.

What else? No one can deny that thousands upon thousands of spores passed through the pores of the paper making up two of the anthrax letters’ envelops, enough to kill by inhalational anthrax two postal workers, and that when the envelope addressed to Senator Daschle was opened in the Hart Senate Office Building, the spores escaped and disbursed like a gas.

So who had this technology? Before the anthrax attacks, secret anthrax weaponization projects were being conducted by the CIA at Battelle’s labs in West Jefferson, Ohio and the DIA in labs managed and operated by Battelle at the Army’s Dugway Proving Ground (in Utah). Both facilities had received anthrax spores from Bruce Ivin’s flask RMR-1029.

“[T]o create anthrax in a dry aerosol form of the sort that can be dispersed through the air is a long and difficult process involving a lot of highly specialized machinery.” (NY Times, 2/24/10).

This was not the work of any lone nut. The anthrax attacks were the product of an advanced domestic weaponization program, and the government cover-up persists.

First hour: Raymond Schwab, a student of Evangelical Judaism and a practitioner of Evangelical Christianity, says those nasty Muslims make life difficult for Christians - especially missionaries - in Muslim countries...and tests Kevin's patience by saying terrible things about the Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) and the Qur'an. Kevin blasts Christian/European imperialism and colonialism, and prays for Raymond's forgiveness, especially since Raymond has walked the walk for 9/11 truth.

Tuesday, Feb. 22nd: Two shows with special guests Niels Harrit and Matthias Chang!

9-10 a.m. Pacific (noon - 1 pm Eastern) on http://NoLiesRadio.org, to be archived here a few hours after broadcast... Niels Harrit, lead author of the "loaded gun" nanothermite paper finding evidence of unexploded nanothermite chips in World Trade Center dust. Niels is currently touring Canada; tonight he will be speaking in Edmonton, Alberta! (Tour info here.)

Matthias Chang is at the top of the list of people I've wanted to interview for years. His take-no-prisoners analysis of the New World Order, Zionism, US empire and related topics is an inspiration to all of us in the GAM (genuinely alternative media).

Second hour: Vicious, nasty, no-holds-barred rumble - I mean debate - on the Wisconsin Revolution! In this corner: Jim Fetzer,slandered 9/11 truth advocate, liberal and lifelong public employee who actually admits (shamefacedly) that he voted for Obama, has been joining the pro-labor insurgents every day at the Wisconsin state capitol. In the other corner, Wisconsin Libertarian party activist Rolf Lindgren, a friend of Gov. Scott Walker since high school, says Walker is right - state employees are spoiled brats! What do you think? Call in and throw a few punches: (402) 237-2525!

Special two hour interview with intelligence community whistleblower Dmitri Khalezov and Veterans Today editor Gordon Duff.

Did an infamous Mossad agent named Mike Harari brag of organizing 9/11? Dmitri Khalezov, author of The Third Truth About 9/11, was arrested in Thailand along with Mike Harari. Khalezov says Harari was his friend at the time of 9/11, invited him to a party on 9/12/01 celebrating the successful operation, and subsequently let it be known, in so many words, that he, Harari, was an organizer of the 9/11 false-flag event.Gordon Duff, editor of Veterans Today, knows the intelligence community well and says Khalezov should be taken seriously as a potential witness in the 9/11 mass murder case.

Is the widely esteemed 9/11 scholar David Ray Griffin really an evil disinfo agent sent to discredit "sensible" (unknown and/or anonymous) 9/11 truthers with his crazy theories? 9/11 truth infighting once seemed tragic - but is it now repeating itself as farce? What can we do about this kind of lunacy, other than laugh it off or ignore it?

Jonathan Mark has been hosting teleconferences for 9/11 truth movement leaders for years, knows the ins and outs of the movement well, and has generally taken the sensible middle ground on hot-button issues. Professional musician Adam Syed (like me and dozens if not hundreds of others) was banned from 911blogger.com for no good reason, clearing the way for the current situation there; he is developing 911discussion.com as a rigorously fair-minded (I hope) alternative to 911blogger.

Second hour: Ken Jenkins of 911TV.org, author of The Truth Is Not Enough: How to Overcome Emotional Barriers to 9/11 Truth. Ken's efforts as David Ray Griffin's videographer, leader of the push to get 9/11 truth videos on public access TV, and expert on the psychology of 9/11 truth have been among the most important contributions to the movement. Today, he'll put his psychological insight to work on potential solutions for, or at least insights into, the problem of infighting in social movements in general and the 9/11 truth movement in particular.

The results were split down the middle in almost every way imaginable. Some admire CIT's work, others deplore it; most are somewhere in-between. Some thought my survey was a good idea, others felt it would just throw fuel on an already destructive fire.

The lesson I draw is that there should be some sort of truce by which people with different opinions, but a shared opposition to the official narrative, should remember/assume that we are all on the same team. A few proposed rules:

* Nothing but constructive criticism for anyone who opposes the official narrative.

* If you disagree with someone's opinions or research, contact them privately with a friendly constructive critique before going public. (Phone contacts are best, since email lacks the warmth and inflection of the human voice, and tends to degenerate into flame wars.)

* No more "disinfo" accusations.

* No more hiding behind pseudonyms; use your real name and post a public bio or withdraw from the movement. (Imaginary entities have an unfair advantage over real people in on-line conflicts, and are the perfect vehicle for cointelpro-style infiltration.)

* Always be ready to accept mediation and talk things out with other truth movement people.

* Try to take a realistic view of the fact that some people are more busy/accomplished/famous than others, and show appropriate respect, deference, and/or compassion for those people. (In other words, don't take up their time unless it's absolutely necessary or clearly useful. For example, starting CC email chains with well-known names is not a good idea!)

So...what do you think? Should we put these rules into effect as of today? Require authentic truth movement members to take down past posts with violations of these rules, when requested? Have I missed any other rules that might be beneficial?

Even if we don't get a general agreement to abide by these rules, they may serve as useful guidelines in evaluating the efforts of our fellow truth-seekers.

As I have argued for many years, truth and transparency are always the first step in social revolution as well as an eventual evolution in consciousness. The worldwide internet, Wikileaks and other sources have fully revealed the rusting infrastructure of the old world order which still relies on force, economic manipulation and propaganda to maintain its hold over the people. Of course, the Global financial elite see the handwriting on the wall and have chosen Obama to be the interim leader of the transition from the old world order to the new world order ~ with America and the secretive Federal Reserve still firmly in financial control of the restless seething masses seeking true change.

Egypt, however, is a game changer because the truth of Egypt’s role as a key staging post for US military actions and Imperialistic designs in the Middle East is now becoming known to the world...

Guest: Jonathan Elinoff of NewWorldOrderReport.com. (Complete bio here.) I met Jonathan E. when we were both crashing with Sander Hicks for the 2009 9/11 festivities in NYC, and have been a huge fan of his work ever since. He's a genius at finding critically important but overlooked archival video footage, as demonstrated by his film Core of Corruption. Jonathan's personal story as a young American Jew sent by his parents to Israel, only to encounter the reality of the apartheid state, deserves a wide audience. Last year he broke the story of the Israeli "art students" with construction passes camping out on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center with huge piles of boxes, during the run-up to 9/11. See here,here and here. Jonathan is on top of all kinds of cutting-edge alternative news, and he will be sharing several amazing stories that I hadn't heard elsewhere during his appearance on Truth Jihad Radio. One of them: His discovery of an old Stanley Meyer interview on "water as fuel" - the ultimate in clean energy?

My special interview yesterday with Dmitri Khalezov is unlikely to please those in the 9/11 truth movement who are allergic to the mention of "Israel" and "9/11" in the same breath. Nor will Khalezov immediately convince those of us who accept the strong evidence for the use of nanothermate explosives in the WTC demolitions. (Khalezov argues that the Towers and WTC-7 had built-in nuclear demolition systems that were used on 9/11.)

But when someone is willing to go on record about an alleged confession by an "organizer" of 9/11, and when their bona fides are supported by Veterans Today insiders, I think it's worth hearing them out...and seeing to it that their actual spoken words are permanently archived (here and here).

Remember: It really doesn't matter what ex-CIA Asset Susan Lindauer thinks about whether there were Muslim hijackers; her testimony about CIA Case Officer Richard Fuisz's detailed 9/11 foreknowledge is evidence that could be used in court. Likewise, it doesn't matter so much whether Khalezov is right about how the demolitions were accomplished or the Pentagon struck; what matters is that his testimony about Mike Harari's confessions about "organizing" 9/11 is evidence that could be used in court.

Second hour: Debate on Palestinian Right of Return!

2:00 - 2:30 Central: Francis Boyle, Professor of International Law, University of Illinois, author of the brand-new The Palestinian Right of Return Under International Law: "The just resolution of the Palestinian right of return is at the very heart of the Middle East peace process. Nonetheless, the Obama administration intends to impose a comprehensive peace settlement upon the Palestinians that will force them to give up their well-recognized right of return under United Nations General Assembly Resolution 194(III)) of 1948; accept a Bantustan of disjointed and surrounded chunks of territory on the West Bank in Gaza; and even expressly recognize Israel as 'the Jewish State,' as newly demanded by Benjamin Netanyahu. All this will fail for the reasons so powerfully and eloquently stated in this book. For the past three decades, Francis A. Boyle has provided the leadership of the Palestinian people with advice, counsel, and representation at all stages of the Middle East Peace Process. Here, he elaborates what the Palestinians must now do to realize their international legal right of return, in keeping with his startling perception of Israel as itself nothing more than a Jewish Bantustan bound for failure."

2:30 - 3:00 pm Central: Philosophy professor Richard Curtis, supporter of "labor Zionism" and a two-state solution without Right of Return. Unlike some radio hosts, I am not afraid to bring on guests with whom I strongly disagree. (Remember Bill Warner?) As I once explained to Fox News hosts, my job (whether in the classroom or on the radio) isn't to teach people what to think, but how to think. And the first lesson is to go easy on the preconceptions, open one's mind to differences of opinion, and weigh the arguments.

JB Campbell writes in Veterans Today: "I have been fortunate to be in contact with Dimitri Khalezov, whose blockbuster revelations about 9-11 are about to change our perception of reality for the better just as profoundly as 9-11 changed them for the worse. He has revealed from first-hand knowledge that Mike Harari organized the 9-11 massacre. First-hand means in this case, Mike Harari told him."

Mr. Dimitri A. Khalezov, a former Soviet citizen, a former commissioned officer of the so-called “military unit 46179”, otherwise known as “the Special Control Service” of the 12th Chief Directorate of the Defense Ministry of the USSR.The Special Control Service, also known as the Soviet atomic (later “nuclear”) intelligence was a secret military unit responsible for detecting of nuclear explosions (including underground nuclear tests) of various adversaries of the former USSR as well as responsible for controlling of observance of various international treaties related to nuclear testing and to peaceful nuclear explosions.After September the 11th Khalezov undertook some extensive 9/11 research and proved that the Twin Towers of World Trade Center as well as its building 7 were demolished by three underground thermo-nuclear explosions – which earned the very name “ground zero” to the demolition site.Moreover, he testifies that he knew about the in-built so-called “emergency nuclear demolitions scheme” of the Twin Towers as long ago as back in the ‘80s – while being a serviceman in the Soviet Special Control Service.

Note: I have been skeptical about Mr. Khalezov in the past based on some of his seemingly offbeat or hyperbolic statements such as:

"...almost 99% of so-called '9/11 truthers' and full-time 9/11 conspiracy theorists are merely government appointed shills..." (That estimate sounds a little high...can I really be the only one not getting a government paycheck?!)

But some folks I respect over at Veterans Todaytake Mr. Khalezov's testimony very seriously. So I'm going back and looking over his work...and looking forward to our conversation.Watch Dmitri Khalezov video.

Neither of these guests is yet listed at PatriotsQuestion911. Will that change after today's broadcast? Tune in and find out!

First hour: Novelist Hal Fleming has been a senior official with the State Department, the Peace Corps, UNICEF, and the US Mission to the United Nations. He is the author of The Brides' Fair, a well-realized thriller set in Morocco juxtaposing members of the US diplomatic community with Middle Atlas Berbers and the obligatory terrorists - but with a false-flag twist; and Once Upon a Storm, a mystery whose backdrop is the 1960s civil rights movement.Second hour: Dr. Mohammad Malkawi is the author of Fall of Capitalism and Rise of Islam, the best introduction to the topic of Islam and economics that I have yet read. (Not being an expert, I obviously have not read them all - but in any case, this one is good!) Fellow fans of Umar Vadillo will profit from this book - as will anyone curious about why Islamic financial markets have outperformed non-Islamic ones since the 2008 downturn. Dr. Malkawi, whose Ph.D is in computer engineering, has taught at numerous universities in the US and Jordan, and is the author of many works including The Islamic View of Terrorism, published just two months after 9/11.

Ryan's response to Parry is even better than Fetzer's. But Ryan follows his response to Parry with an attack on Fetzer implicitly accusing Fetzer of being a cointelpro-style disinformation agent. (Fetzer responds here.)

As a friend of both Ryan and Fetzer, I don't see why their valuable critiques of Parry's willful ignorance should be eclipsed in yet another "so and so is a disinfo agent" squabble.

I have contacted both of them; Jim Fetzer has confirmed he will join me during the first half hour; Kevin Ryan has been invited to do the second half-hour, or to appear on an alternate date if he wishes.

Special Jonathan Monday marathon! For two Mondays in a row, I'll be talking for two full hours with two of the smartest young alternative journalists around - and they're both named Jonathan!

This Monday, Feb. 7th, it's Wiki-skeptic Jonathan Azaziah, an Iraqi, Moroccan-Hebrew, Russian MC, poet, activist and writer from Brooklyn, New York currently residing in Florida. His articles, poems and music predominantly deal with international Zionism and the effects that it has on the world's oppressed people; and he has recently been published by Veterans Today. His mixtape, Take The Red Pill Volume 2: Disarm The Octopus will be available for download soon. His work can be found on www.maskofzion.com.

Then next Monday Feb. 14th it's Jonathan Elinoff of NewWorldOrderReport.com. I met Jonathan E. when we were both crashing with Sander Hicks for the 2009 9/11 festivities in NYC, and have been a huge fan of his work ever since. He's a genius at finding critically important but overlooked archival video footage, as demonstrated by his film Core of Corruption. Jonathan's personal story as a young American Jew sent by his parents to Israel, only to encounter the reality of the apartheid state, deserves a wide audience. Last year he broke the story of the Israeli "art students" with construction passes camping out on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center with huge piles of boxes, during the run-up to 9/11. See here,here and here. Jonathan is on top of all kinds of cutting-edge alternative news, and he will be sharing several amazing stories that I hadn't heard elsewhere during his appearance on Truth Jihad Radio.

Is political Islam a threat? Or merely a menace? The debate has raged since 9/11/01...and now it's raging on Truth Jihad Radio! In light of the revolutions in Tunisia and Egypt, we'll discuss the myths and realities of political Islam with "political Islamophile" Dr. Fouzi Slisli, a genuine academic expert, and "political Islamophobe" Dr. Bill Warner, an...er...interesting autodidact.

First hour: Professor Fouzi Slisli, expert in political Islam. Fouzi Slisli is an interdisciplinary humanities’ scholar trained in the textual traditions of Islam and of Europe with a consistent focus on the relationship of religion to politics, literature and aesthetics. He received a BA in Literature from University Mohammed I in Morocco, an MA in Dramatic Studies and a PhD in Comparative Literature from the University of Essex in England. In the European tradition, his work focuses on the relationship of secular literature to religion and politics and he recently completed a book on this topic. In the Islamic tradition, his work focuses on the relationship of Islam to politics.His work confirms that religion cannot be dismissed as simple dogma, but is rather a complex ideological system whose understanding demands an interdisciplinary approach and rigorous textual and philosophical analysis. His work has been published in Race and Class, Critique: Critical Middle Eastern Studies, The Journal of North African Studies, and his first book is currently under consideration at Syracuse University Press.

Second hour guest: Anti-Islam crusader Bill Warner. A math and physics Ph.D. and Religious Studies autodidact, Bill Warner has apparently been on a mission to denigrate Islam since September 12th, 2001. Some excerpts from his website:

"Dr. Warner's training in scientific theory and mathematics shaped how he analyzed Islamic doctrine. The first step was realizing that the Islamic texts had been made deliberately difficult to read and comprehend." He makes them easy to comprehend in such publications as:

Bulletin of Christian Persecution

Bulletin of Jew Hatred

Bulletin of the Annihilation of Asia

Bulletin of the Oppression of Women

Bulletin of the Annihilation of Culture

Warner argues that those with knowledge about Islam draw that knowledge from people like him...while "The Party of Ignorance draws its arguments from what Muslims say about Islam."

Can you imagine applying that hermeneutic to knowledge about, say, Judaism? "Knowledge" about Judaism would be what anti-Semites say; while "ignorance" would be anything based on what Jews themselves say. Or how about knowledge about the U.S.A.? Could we dismiss everything Americans themselves have ever said about the U.S.A., and build an interpretation based only on the words of hostile outsiders? Doesn't this hermeneutic produce a rather one-sided, pejorative discourse on whatever subject it's applied to? How will Bill Warner defend it? Tune in and find out...

Second hour: Ellen Brown, author, Web of Debt. She is a leading advocate of public banking (as opposed to letting private bankers create money out of nothing and then lend it to the rest of us at interest.) Her latest article is "Washington State Joins Movement for Public Banking." Will we be able to outflank the Fed state-by-state? If the states that move to public banking succeed in kick-starting their economies - as experience suggests - it could become an unstoppable juggernaut!
